I am an assistant professor in the Computational Science and Engineering Division of the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, working in the area of high-performance computing. I joined in the Fall 2007.

I am developing automated tools and techniques to tune, to analyze, and to debug software for large-scale machines. I aggressively exploit application-specific (or, “domain-specific”) information where possible, and build on ideas from computer architecture, compiler optimization, and statistical machine learning.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley, in January 2004, in the BeBOP group, under Profs. James Demmel and Katherine Yelick. I was recently a post-doctoral researcher in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where I worked with Dr. Dan Quinlan on the ROSE project.

I am a great admirer of human ingenuity, as exemplified by The Watts Towers in Los Angeles, and Peeps Shows I and II, among others.
